"Jacob Collins identifies a uniquely defined anthropological current in 1970s French thought and shows how reflection on the so-called primitive served theorists' efforts to grapple with contemporaneous uncertainties. Stimulating and insightful, The Anthropological Turn will be of interest to not only French and intellectual historians but also readers interested in political science, anthropology, and European ideas."-Julian Bourg, author of From Revolution to Ethics: May 1968 and Contemporary French Thought Read more...
